It’s the weekend! I’ve had a heck of a week and am looking forward to only emerging from my bed when I absolutely have to. Though I also just got an iPad, which means I could technically play FTL in bed, so leaving bed at all is up for grabs.

You’re heading to the store to get a PS4 right now, and need to know which games to get. (Keep your eyes on the road, please!) Or you’re home, all set up, realizing you want more stuff to play. Or maybe you’re suiting up for a battle in the console war, applying your facepaint and trying to remember which games will…

You had your Pokémons and your Fire Emblems and your (really, really good) new Kirby game, but the games I most enjoyed playing on my 3DS this year were smaller, less hyped oddities. Do you like weird, great games? Here are some of my favorites from this year:

In 2014, it seemed like chef Justin Warner’s star couldn’t rise any higher. He was on Zagat’s 30 under 30, he had won season 8 of Food Network Star, which would net him at least a pilot of his own cooking show, and he ran a successful restaurant, Do or Dine. By 2015, he’d lose both.

Popular production company Rooster Teeth posted a new video in their Immersion series. Looking at game myths, this newest episode sees what would happen if one of the best things about NBA Jam was real.

A popular Super Smash Bros. Melee controller’s potential ban from big-time esports tournament Genesis 4 has sparked a debate throughout the Smash community over what constitutes a tournament-legal controller for a 15-year-old game. The controller’s creator says its ban would be “devastating” for his business.

As they did last summer, the makers of The Division are inviting fans to provide in-person feedback regarding some changes to the game. This time, they’re flying fans to Red Storm in North Carolina this January in preparation for changes to The Division’s most controversial component: The Dark Zone. More info here.

When YouTube’s biggest star swore that he was going to delete his channel after gaining 50 million subscribers, fans didn’t know what to believe. Some thought he was really going through with it, and prepared for the worst. Today, Felix Kjellberg comes clean, revealing that it was just a joke all along.

Silence, the long-awaited sequel to Daedalic Entertainment’s The Whispered World, begins with a World War II bombing raid that sends 16 year old Noah and his little sister into the magical world that exists between life and death. It’s a sad way to begin a beautiful adventure.
